My First Map


I have for a long time been interested in mapmaking, but the maps I made never exceeded plotting random colours into countries and playing around. A few days ago I got the idea to show all the languages with the same amount of native speakers as my own mother tongue, Norwegian. This sparked learning how to use QGIS and when I was done making the map I felt like it deserved to be displayed rather than be forgotten in some folder on my computer. So, here is my first map. 


Edit June 2019: This map won the reddit mapcontext of May 2019! Very cool and makes me very happy. Here is a link to the competition and the runner ups:
